Week by Week

I've decided that I'm going to take pictures of Nora every week to see how much she has changed. She has already changed a great deal in the month that she's been alive.
Here are the weekly pictures.
Birthday

Week 1

Week 2 (We bought this sleeper outfit because it says Cheeky on it. I have a good friend whose nickname is Cheeky and it is a good reminder of her! Thanks Jan!)Week 3 (and first Sunday at Church)
Week 4 (She is looking at Daddy in this one. She still can't get enough of him. She smiles at him more than me, even though I'm with her all day. It's great that she loves her daddy so much, and he loves her right back.)


Here are some other random pictures that we have taken.

Nora at one of her first baths. She has this cute pink robe that Aunt Jen gave us. Nora doesn't like bath time because she loves to be wrapped up and snuggled not out in the open wet and cold. Grandpa Korth always does this with babies. I've seen it done many times. I never gave it much thought until right before Nora was born, then I started questioning if it was a good idea. He's never dropped anyone, so I guess I can handle it. It was good to get a picture. Grandma Cindy was able to come and spend a few days with us. She planned her trip so she could be with us for Nora's blessing. It was great to have her here, and we already miss her. We had so much fun we had to snap a picture of her with Nora on the way out the door to the airport because we were too busy playing the rest of the time. Here they are together. This is our nephew Bryant. When we got back from Nora's blessing, we saw that Bryant (and his mom and sister) had made cookies for Nora. Here they are together. It was Bryant's idea to make cookies for her name. Thanks Bry!
My grandparents were able to come down for Nora's blessing as well. It was great to have them there. We were able to get a four generation picture while they were here. They got to meet Nora the day after she was born because they were in town then as well. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for making the trek down from Idaho.

Jen took some good blessing pictures, so I'll post those another day.
